Year End Review and 2011 Goals

At the beginning of 2010 I posted my goals here. Here is a review of what was or wasn't accomplished:Accomplishments:1. Sewed window treatments for the dining room and family room ( unplanned)2. Crochet a bag ( planned)3. Made a jacket, as a result I have a TNT jacket pattern (planned)4. Made 2- skirts here and here (unplanned)5. Worked on TNT dress/blouse muslin. I still have to do minor tweaking, however, its a winner, I have a basic dress/blouse sloper (unplanned)6. Spent time with the fabulous Omega and met up with two great sewing sisters- Carolynn and Sheila (unplanned)7. Spent a Saturday with friends- pattern review in August (unplanned)8. Sewed from my stash (planned) jacket, skirts and window treatments9. Continue to work and improve my sewing skills10. Bought a 1929 vintage Singer sewing machine11. Attended a sewing class with Connie Crawford

Not Accomplished1. I did not work on any unfinished project2 Did not work on pants3. Although I did sew from my stash, it was a small amount4. I spent too much money on fabric.

As 2010 end, I have a sense of satisfaction regarding my accomplishments. I did not sew many garments, however the few pieces I sewed were sewn using vintage techniques including some tailoring techniques (jacket) and they fit my body perfectly.

Hi Alethia! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a birthday wish! You are so organized to plan your sewing year. I hope to try to do the same as I ponder over the last year this week. Looking forward to following along on your sewing adventures in the next year.
